EOD WARRIOR FOUNDATIONWHO WE AREThe mission of the EOD Warrior Foundation is to improve the quality of life for the EOD family by providing financial relief, scholarship

opportunities, physical, social, and emotional support.

The foundation offers four pillars of support (Financial Relief, Education, Hope & Wellness, EOD Memorial Care) and handles each

request on a case-by-case basis. The assistance and resources provided are above and beyond the budgetary constraints of the

Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The foundation believes that the EOD family is for life. We work to disarm the challenges of the EOD family by providing our support

with compassion and caring to every individual we serve.

WHO WE AREThe National Defense Industrial Association is the trusted leader in defense

and national security associations. As a 501(c)(3) corporate and individual

WELCOME TO THE 2018 GLOBAL EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL SYMPOSIUM & EXHIBITIONThe National Defense Strategy of the United States has changed.

We are no longer looking at counter insurgency in southwest

Asia, and the fight against terrorism as the most significant threats

against the United States and our allies and partners. Granted, the

fight against violent extremist organizations continues, as do our

deployments to Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, but the major focus of

the Department of Defense has changed to near peer competitors,

namely China, Russia, Iran, North Korea. This is not a new mission

to our EOD forces, but it is a change to the environment in which

we will be expected to operate.

The theme of this symposium, “modernizing to meet new threats”,

seeks to bring this new strategic direction to the forefront of

our discussions between the military, industry, and academia.

We hope to explore where the Services’ EOD forces are going,

both Jointly and singly, and what are their current and future

requirements. To that end we have front loaded requirements

briefings from the Joint Improvised Threat Defeat Agency (JIDO),

and three of the four Services. Its important to continue a strong

dialog between the Services requirements developers and industry

partners to ensure industry can “skate to where the puck is going

to be”. Likewise, requirements developers need to understand

the current state of technology to appropriately shape their

requests for proposal.

The rest of the event seeks to reach out to our interagency

partners, with high level speakers from the FBI and the DHS. This

year we have the strongest international panel ever. We continue to

reach out to non-traditional partners, including private companies

that are engaged in weapons technical information collection;

companies engaged in UXO and IED clearance; non-governmental

humanitarian organizations; and academics who provide

different viewpoints to many issues. Many of the most innovative

approaches are coming from these non-traditional partners, and I

encourage both government and industry to engage them.

The EOD Warrior Foundation continues to be a strong partner in

this symposium, making sure we are also taking care of our EOD

Warriors. The Foundation’s Executive Director, Nicole Motsek,

will provide us with an update on the Foundation’s activities to

“Disarm Challenges”; on day two, we will hear about current

research into brain injury; and MG (ret) Manner, a member of the

Foundation’s advisory board, will provide a seminar on military to

civilian transition.

I challenge all attendees to seek out and talk to two individuals

they don’t know at this weeks event. I guarantee you will find

someone interesting.

Thanks, and enjoy the symposium!

The NDIA has a policy of strict compliance with federal and state antitrust laws. The antitrust laws prohibit competitors from engaging in actions that could result in an unreasonable restraint of trade. Consequently, NDIA members must avoid discussing certain topics when they are together at formal association membership, board, committee, and other meetings and in informal contacts with other industry members: prices, fees, rates, profit margins, or other terms or conditions of sale (including allowances, credit terms, and warranties); allocation of markets or customers or division of territories; or refusals to deal with or boycotts of suppliers, customers or other third parties, or topics that may lead participants not to deal with a particular supplier, customer or third party.

HONORABLE JAMES MCDONNELLAssistant Secretary for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction

Department of Homeland Security

James F. McDonnell was appointed by President Trump to serve as the Assistant

Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office. The office’s mission is to counter attempts at an attack against the United States or its interests using a weapon of mass destruction. Before this, McDonnell was acting Assistant Secretary of CWMD and Director of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office.

McDonnell is a recognized expert in MD-related terrorism. He served in the Navy for 20 years in special operations and counter terrorism. He founded the National Security Programs business unit at Oak Ridge Associated Universities and managed terrorism-related national security activities, including restructuring the technical response by the U.S. to nuclear terrorism threats.

McDonnell has senior executive experience in the federal government and the private sector, where he directed security, police, and other risk management functions. He has served in the Senior Executive Service in DHS, the Department of Energy, and the White House. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, McDonnell became the founding director of the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Assurance.

When President George W. Bush announced the creation of DHS, McDonnell moved to the Homeland Security Transition Planning Office within the White House to begin the work of building the Department’s infrastructure protection capability. As part of the original executive leadership team at the Department, he was responsible for the initial development and management of today’s Infrastructure Protection Office. He formed and directed the development of several national programs at the Department, which

included management of security activities through several high-threat periods, the development of a National Protection Plan, and the implementation of the Buffer Zone Protection Plan.

McDonnell received his Bachelor of Science degree from Regents College, University of the State of New York, and earned a Master of Arts degree from Georgetown University. He also attended Harvard University’s Senior Executives in National and International Security program. He has volunteered his time on boards, task forces, and advisory committees, with a focus on homeland security policy and community preparedness and response. McDonnell has published an article on nuclear terrorism response, as well as a book on domestic terrorism incidents. He has contributed to publications addressing corporate security, homeland security, and critical decision-making.
